    Is There Not A Cause?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026
     | 98 views

    God’s word is never idle—it creates purpose and calls for response. Like David, we are not defined by the roles others assign us, but by the word God has spoken over our lives. When that word becomes a cause, faith moves from observation to obedience.

For forty days, the giant Goliath had stepped forward to issue his challenge, defying the armies of the living God. And for forty days, no one answered him. The silence was not caused ...read more

    Faith or unbelief determines what we see when we look at Jesus. Jesus brings us to the valley of decision where we either become his followers or his enemies.

    (Begin by reading chapter one as if you are a messenger from Mark. Better yet, memorize it and share it as if you are Mark himself). In chapter two of Mark we have four more vignettes in Jesus’ life recorded for us. In each of these Jesus expresses his authority in both freeing and disturbing ...read more

    When we come to church, remember to get to the right focus - God, and get to the right agenda - prayer, communion with God.

    We are looking at a rare glimpse of Jesus today – His anger over something He is passionate about. It pays for us to take note. If it can drive Him to behave in such a way, it must be something we need to take note of today. The Temple was a good thing. God commanded the people of Israel to ...read more

    This text is troubling because it doesn’t seem to connect, but when you dig in it has a beautiful message of praying for the nations.

    Experiencing Hope/Expressing Hope (Mark 11:1-24) Sometimes we have a conception that people who approach life in a lighthearted manner don’t take things seriously enough. We often believe that they don’t care about things, that they have a kind of laize faire approach toward life, that they have ...read more
